I would suggest someone with a Scan station check in your raw scan directory and see if the onboard camera actually creates images or just colors the point cloud on the fly. We'll try one and see what the image order should be. They will just be grey scale panos, albeit very small in file size. The resolution will not be as high and things like the sky will be black, but it would still be helpful to quickly let someone know what was in the scan.ītw, I checked on of our Truviews without true color (no-photos at all) and this applies to them as well. But you could figure that out pretty quick. I am not sure if the Truview order is the same way Pano2QTVR wants them, as in top cube, bottom cube, left cube, right cube, etc. It will find the other five assuming they have been copied to the same directory. Instead of selecting "equirectangular image" on the project tab (above) select "cubic" and the base image. These can be used to create the panorama.

However once you have an equirectangular image you can jump into step one here. There is now reason why any external images from other scanners can't fit into this, however the initial steps may or will be different depending on the camera, lens, etc.
You can also add text to the site map as shown in the example here: Open index.html (or if on the web just go to the folder) and the TruView site map will launch the panoramas. Put the resulting folder on your website, a cd, thumbdrive, whatever. Here is a link to the Leica External Camera workflow if you are not familiar with it.Īfter creating your cubic images for Cyclone/Truview with Pano2QTVR, switch to the "userdata" tab and fill out your information which will be embedded in the panorama. Creating QTVR panoramas require only the additional steps of changing the program settings and output type, creating the QTVR and adjusting the TruView sitemap. Stitch them into an equirectangular image using a program like PtGui, Convert the equirectangular image to cubic images with Pano2QTVR and importing into Cyclone. None the less, they are a great value add - and only take a few more steps.Ĭreating your cubic images for point cloud colorization require these steps: Take the spherical photographs. However they lack the measurement and annotation capability of a TruView. Usually refered to as VR Panoramas or QTVRs, these are very helpful tools when modeling, or any time someone would like to "go back and see what it was like at the scan site".īy comparison to TruViews, QTVRs are very portable, averaging about 1.5 megs in size and contain much more visual information. If you are using an external camera to bring color to your Leica scans andTruViews, its only a small step further to qreate Quicktime or Flash based panoramas.
